JONO HUNT
Art. Words. Film. Design. Games.
Welcome to my portfolio.
I am a multidisciplinary artist who creates with abandon, honouring my clients' needs while providing the same attention to detail that I do with my personal work.
I hope you enjoy these selections from my writing, film, and game projects.
SPACE HUSTLER
Music Video by Grandfather Mantis, featuring M9 & Glim
I was approached to create a music video in collaboration with PM pictures director Carlo Schefter for Toronto rapper Mantis. The pitch was simple: "Recreate the Cantina and combine it with Jabba's palace".
My role was to design the visuals of the entire production from props to entire sets, and working alongside the client and the director, write a short story filled with characters that feel experienced and places that feel lived-in.
Character descriptions and story breakdown from the pre-production stage can be read here.
STAR WARS: FIFTH SON
Excerpt from a full length script, intended for either animation, video game, or live action application. It takes place just after The Force Awakens. This excerpt begins in a secret base, as the last of the republic clones, Merc, gives two Kyber crystals to Ota (affectionately known as "Five"), who hails from a dark world outside the galaxy. He is a fugitive of his own royal family, running from a dark purpose trying to find the light.
"You can’t have light without dark, my son - but darkness - it doesn't need light"
BLACK HOLE BASTARDS
Black Hole Bastards is a multimedia passion project based around a novel I am currently writing. It began as a feature film script that morphed into the book, only to become a short experimental film that I produced during the Great Pandemic Lockdown of Toronto 2020.
Head to the writing section to read sample scripts and chapters from the novel.
Below you'll find the pilot episode and motif illustrations from the book that also serve as concept art for the films.

MISCELLANEOUS WORK

Many of the personal projects are part of a tiny universe I've steadily been building over my career. I have been lucky enough to be working alongside so many talented people, creating worlds and telling stories.
